More pictures :)

Here are some other pictures taken on Sunday in my backyard :)

If we live to be 103...best friends we'll always be

Lol. I'm at world record now with two posts in the same week haha :)

Me and my friend took pictures today before church and I believe they are pretty cute haha :)

It was windy...



And now my favorite one:



So hopefully there will be more on sunday :)

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD

It's pretty late right now. But after reading this passage of beautiful scripture, I just couldn't help but write my thoughts down :)

I remember reading this a couple times before but it seems that it has really spoke to me this morning. And I hope that it does to you as well. It always seems to facinate me when the Lord speaks to us through his word, and I will never get enough of it because he is so good to me.

But now as I write these blessed words down, I am blessed to know that I am secure in the arms of my Lord and that no trials or fears should get in my way. With my savior who loves me.

1.The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

It is so good to know that the Lord is my light in this dark world and that I am glad to know that I am saved today because of him never giving up on me. And though I may be caught in this world through troubles and trials, I don't need to be afraid, because when I am weak he is strong and he is my strength in my life.

2. When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

3. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

'My heart shall not fear' - I love those words because through him in times of trouble I will be confident, because I know he takes care of me everyday of my life.

4. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.

Now when I read this verse, it touched my heart, Seeing David's desire to please the Lord is what I hope and desire as well in my life. That's why I love reading about David because I can relate to him so much through my life and seeing his dependance on the Lord wants to me to know my Lord more. Knowing the things I desire for him, I must seek through his word, and fellowshiping with him through my prayers to him. I pray that I will never be discouraged enough that I don't want to go to church or want to grow in his word anymore.

5. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

Praise the Lord! That in times of trouble in our lives he comforts us and will set me upon a rock so I can stand strong in him :)

6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

It is good to sing praises to him :) Godly music has changed my life in so many ways.

7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

Though sometimes I feel that the Lord can't hear me, because sometimes it is hard to understand with billions of people in this world, he can hear me. But our God is a BIG God and is wonderful to know that he answers our prayers, and calms our spirts when we are discouraged. I know that when my grandpa died and I went alone on a walk, I feel like I am closer to my Lord and can feel him around me.

8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

And Lord, your face do I seek as well.

9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

And it is good to know through his words that he will NEVER leave us or forsake us. Thank you Lord.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

And I pray through my walk with him that I will wait on the Lord, and that he will strengthen my heart, my faith, my joy in him and that I will never be ashamed to proclaim his goodness with everyone around me.

I hope this can be a blessing to someone as well as it has done for me.

Don't be afraid to comment!!!

What does this beautiful passage mean to you?

I'm really loving summer right now

Here is another long delayed update.

Nothing that interesting has really happened until now ;)

First of all I would like everyone to meet my best friends little baby boy: Asher Jayden Adams



He is so cuteeeee :)

Besides that, I have been pretty busy I just came back this week from my graduation trip to El Paso, and I loved it all the way. It was my first time flying so I was pretty scared most of the time, I couldn't sleep that night before I left. But the Lord is so good, during that night my mind was filled with godly songs and the verse "God has not given us the spirit of fear..." And then I knew that I didn't need to be afraid because the Lord is in control. And though it is just a little thing to be afraid of with a BIG God. He is still so good to me.

When we arrived, it some how felt that I just came home. I was born in El Paso and just seeing the desert plains, and the beautiful mountains. It is just an amazing wonder of all the things that God created, and the beauty that we all can enjoy today.

***Once I can get the picture on this computer I took a lovely picture of the mountains with the sun setting (it was beautiful) and also the rainbow over the palm tree was pretty too.

We were pretty busy the whole time we were there picking flowers for my great grandmother for her garden, visting family, shopping, helping my great grandma with her picnic for her neighborhood which she was so excited about. I am so glad that me and my grandma were a blessing to her when we were there.

Though I was tired and ready to sleep in my own bed again *lol*
I didn't want to leave.
It just feels good to get away from things once and awhile and come back refreshed and stress free :)

Though I didn't mind all the compliments I got while I was over there. Which was really strange because I never had that before. So I also feel that I had a couple steps ahead in my mountain of gaining self esteem.

Tommorows a busy day. I get to start my first sunday school class (if that is correctly said) with 4th - 6th grade girls and I pretty stoked about it :) I just pray that the Lord would use me in a mighty way, in those girls lives.

AND ALSO I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THE 3RD ENSTALMENT OF STREAMS IN THE DESERT TRIO that my grandma bought for me at the church we visted (Hilcrest Baptist Church) they had a bookstore and it was pretty cheap. So I've been listening to it constantly :)

So 2 more weeks till camp. And if I don't post anything by then. You will hear me afterwards. Because 20 more days till I am 18!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY :D

The life of a graduate

It's not interesting at all...

Though I didn't really expect it to be at all either.
I'm excited now that I get to go to camp after begging on my hands and knees to my boss to let me go. We'll not really...but checking if other co-workers could cover for me that week. Though I don't know if I like the feeling of my 18th birthday being at camp...because I hate getting embarrased. For the past 6 years in my life I believe my birthday has been somewhere except at home except for home...

Let's see...

1. For my 10th birthday I was at Carlsbad Caverns
2,3. Can't really remember
4. For my 13th birthday I was at Ft. Worth, TX for a Youth Rally
5. For my 14th birthday I was coming home from Youth Confrence and ended up having it with our youth group at a gas station
6. For my 15th birthday IT WAS AT HOME!!!!!!! :D
7. For my 16th bithday close to confrence but I think I did have it at home
8. For my 17th birthday I was at camp in Eufala, Ok

*Side note* It's really funny though...once everyone knew it was my birthday some guy started to pretty much stalk me, I was ready one of my books in the gym and our chior director was sitting a couple of rows behind me and this guy came up to me and asked me if I liked Dr. Pepper, I felt really bad because I don't like Dr. Pepper at all...so I told him no and apparently he already bought the drink and was going to give it to me, so then he tried to offer me his bandana and...ya I think I broke his heart...I couldn't even date then. So I really pray that something like that won't happen again this year. ;)

9. and no for my 18th...it's going to be at the same place as last year

I wonder how my parents feel now....I've never really asked them...but they let me go to all the activites :)

But right now summer is not fun...yet it's just day two.

Working doesn't count.

So I love everyone in my church apparently they held a suprise graduation party for me sunday night and I was pretty shocked it's a long story but has a happy ending.

I'm guessing our dreams do come true lol.

So I bought these sandles yesterday



and I am in love with them :)

My friend say's I'm getting REALLY 'girly' right now...

Pomp and Circumstance

We'll today is the day.

And the anticipation is building up every second. I get butterflies one minute and then feel fine the next, but that is expected. But in reality I will still probably feel like I am still in High School until I'm in college, but who knows maybe after tonight I will finally feel free :)

*Cue the speech*

First of all I would like to thank all my family and friends for all that they have done for me and I love them all very much you guys were my supporters, and strength to lean on. But most of all I thank my Lord for help me through these 13 years of my life and I still pray that he will still lead me in the path that I must follow. I hope that I have made you all proud. And now it's time to open a new chapter.

*tears everywhere*

haha :D

But thank you all it's been quite an experiance
Now I'm off to get ready!!!!

I can feel the summer heat...

Only One more week left!!!!

YAY!!!

But actually feeling that I am graduated and leaving high school won't probably hit me until I get my diploma. I am just really wierd like that. I haven't been on for a while because things are still pretty hetic in my life right now trying to find a new job for this summer and preparing for Finals, ect... I am just ready to relax which probably won't happen anymore either because this is a new start for me as I enter adulthood...pretty scary but I know that the Lord will help me a guide me through.

So I am ready for summer (though it gets pretty hot down here in Texas) and all the vacations I get to go to.

So for my senior trip I'm going back to my home town of El Paso and I am pretty stoked about that because I haven't been there since I was ten, and my lovely great grandmother lives there. And then I might be able to go for a day or two at camp, my birthday falls in that same week again and I don't know if I want to be embarrased or not *lol* though I know some people who would LOVE to do that *cough cough* :D And then finally I have confrence at Heartland Baptist Bible College/Southwest Baptist Church and I am really excited for that!!!

It seems that my summer is not that busy unless you can add working to that as well. But I must enjoy it because college is approaching and I need to be focuesed.

Chao!!!
